2015 INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards Finalist (winners announcement June 2016) __Christopher Ritchie shows he's a skilful writer, after his House of Pigs was also a finalist in the 2013 IndieFab Awards - "This is a grippingly surreal novel with an edgy narrative and visual touches reminiscent of Stephen King's The Shining." SURREY LIFE magazine. 'The ordinary' is an allegory-laden horror-satire in which Stanley, one of the ordinary, is so evil his touch alone freezes girls' minds with fear; caught up in porn, in their teens, he captures and keeps them as trophies. While, 'the ordinary' feed from humanity's rot intent on bringing about the next phase for the human race. Amid this dark descent humanity's fight for survival, as with retired policeman Rob, his son Jez and girlfriend Maria, seems doomed by its own dark, arrogant dehumanizing of women.
